Like I said, if they make breaking changes to something in .NET we're all in trouble
They'd have to change the behavior of the ThreadLocal<t> class provided in .NET 4
Now they *could*. Of course they could. They could also make a breaking change to System.String, or System.Threading.Thread.
Nobody is safe. Hide your children.
The truth is, whenever you use someone else's library, you run that risk if you rely on it.
That's the nature of software development and this is as true of the less used types like ThreadLocal as is is to more intrinsic and common types like System.String

And you'll write this up as a short article, right?

I think that might do more harm than good!

Microsoft's T4 template engine uses entire different context switch tags (<# #>) than its asp/asp.net context switch tags (<% %>) for no other reason I can discern other than to make porting them back and forth more painful.

That seems to be the highest goal of each and every company these days. Mickeysoft has lost its monopoly on that.

Because they could. That's called design by committee. The guys who sit there can talk all day without deciding anything. That is further complicated by everyone having his own agenda, which often has nothing to do with any technical concerns. In some cases not even remotely with reality.

Probably designed by a different team? And could be useful to tell them apart?

i'm not sure anyone would have a hard time figuring out which was which. I'm sure it was a different design team but they used all other aspects of ASP syntax lie <*= and <*@ - they simply changed the percents to hashes.
i don't know. I can do a couple of dodgy search and replaces to fix it but i wouldn't want to have to rely on that. thankfully i'm not in this situation much.

Maybe to make it easier to generate an ASP.NET file from a T4 template?

Ahhh, now that's a use case I hadn't considered. You might be right. I could see MS engineering for that when they released T4 - even intending it for such a thing.
Although it still seems a bit silly, like using asp to render asp pages.

Admiration, illusion? (3, 8)
Just realized my mistake. Missed The first word.
So probably kind of ruined by the mistake, the answer is The Prestige. I've seen that movie 4 or 5 times, yet I didn't know it had the article before.
Prestige is admiration on the basis of perception and the word comes from the Latin Praestegium or Praestigiae or French Prestige all meaning illusion. While pointing to the illusions/magic/magician.

I would like that, today's CC was intentionally difficult. I wanted to set the theme for next week.

I made a mistake, perhaps you'd like to take another look.
